THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO DRIFT SLOWLY WEST TO
WEST-NORTHWESTWARD DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.  TROPICAL
MOISTURE FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO WILL CONTINUE TO FEED INTO THE
SYSTEM...RESULTING IN VERY HEAVY RAIN TO FALL TO THE SOUTH OF THE
LOW TRACK.  ADDITIONAL RAINFALL TOTALS OF 5 TO 10 INCHES...WITH
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS...ARE FORECAST FOR CENTRAL LOUISIANA OVER
THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. FLASH FLOODING WILL BE A SERIOUS CONCERN.
MEANWHILE...A COLD FRONT FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS IS EXPECTED TO
APPROACH AND THEN MERGE WITH THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AS IT MOVES
FARTHER INLAND LATER THIS WEEKEND. THE THREAT OF HEAVY RAINFALL
COULD SPREAD FARTHER NORTHWARD INTO THE MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY ON
SUNDAY. 

THE NEXT STORM SUMMARY WILL BE ISSUED BY THE WEATHER PREDICTION
CENTER AT 1000 PM CDT. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR LOCAL NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE OFFICE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS EVENT.
